Her class will give you a whole new set of skills to let you make beautiful professional-looking jewelry to wear and give.

Lesson 8. Multi-Strand Necklaces

Lesson 9. Bonus: Creative Wire Forms

As a bonus, Aga shares how to create elaborate, beautiful forms using just wire and a bead or two. These forms can become earrings, pendants, bracelets and more!

"Being a novice to jewelry-making and feeling a little artistically challenged, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I, too, can make beautiful jewelry. Aga is an excellent instructor and the fact that you can post questions and get real-time answers is definitely a bonus. The ability to review portions of the class is extremely useful. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in jewelry-making!" - Sharke

Wonderful Instructor, Great Class

When I purchased this class with the vague notion that it would be fun to add jewelry making to my set of crafty skills, I had no idea what I was getting into. Aga does a wonderful job introducing the materials and the wire wrapping method, and thanks to her excellent instruction, I'm well on my way to creating my own set of wire work jewelry. I love that it's so easy to replay key moments - it helped me really see what Aga was doing and model that in my own practice pieces. Thank you so ...

By using these techniques, you will create a cohesive body of work. Techniques build on each other. The variations shown at chapter ends are very helpful to help you think beyond the demo samples. Delightful instructor, she clearly knows her craft and enjoys sharing with others...
